OEC launched the Respect Transforms project through an opening live with the presence of CEO Mauricio Cruz. The project is an initiative aimed at developing the values present in Our Culture, as well as reinforcing our commitment to adopting practices to prevent and combat any situations of discrimination, intolerance and disrespect in our work environment, whether related to ethnicity/race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, social origin or any other characteristic.
Our Commitment to acting Ethically, with Integrity and Transparency
OEC has gone through a transformation. In 2016, the company undertook a commitment to improve its governance, starting a new era in which business actions fully meet the highest international standards of management and transparency.
The company has changed its internal processes and procedures, established new policies and evolved its Integrity Program. Tasks that are indispensable in this new transparency era, that society demands and which demonstrates the entrepreneurial maturity that the OEC has gone through.
